New partners and offerings for AI Connect program to bring Ai to unified communication

Avaya is expanding its AI Connect ecosystem, which aims to incorporate AI capabilities into unified communications.

The expansion includes new partners and new partner offerings to the program

The program is focused on four areas where AI can used in communications, including how AI can be used to prioritise responses to large volumes of communications; using AI to ensure the use of optimal channel for communications between peers and workgroups; streamlining communications with more voice activation and automated suggestions; and optimized decision making with personalized visibility to complete, relevant data sets that is all too often lost from view or difficult to find.

Among the new partners joining the program is over.ai, which has been designated as AI Connect partner, providing solutions aligned to Avaya's overall UC and collaboration strategies.

over.ai is an AI-enabled voice platform that tackles complex tasks by embracing natural language processing technology and allowing end users to engage naturally, to create a fundamental shift in human-computer interactions. Evolving from point-and-click to listen-and-enable interactions, over.ai will bring voice-enabled AI that streamlines communications tasks on Avaya platforms through listening, understanding and learning from its own environment in real-time.
